Ukraine and European allies call for 30-day truce with Russia starting Monday
- Top officials from France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland presented a joint proposal on Saturday in Kyiv calling for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia to begin the following Monday.
- This proposal follows Russia's unilateral three-day ceasefire that expires Saturday and stems from ongoing efforts, including a U.S. Truce offer in March.
- The ceasefire would halt fighting on land, sea, air, and infrastructure, while European leaders threatened harsher sanctions if Russia rejects an unconditional truce.
- French President Macron stated that the U.S. Would oversee the monitoring of the ceasefire, and that European and American partners have prepared joint sanctions in response to any potential breach of the agreement by Russia.
- The ceasefire is intended to initiate the resolution of the most extensive and enduring conflict Europe has experienced since World War II, while efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s military capabilities continue amid persistent Russian assaults.
